Person-Centered IDD Support for Helena Families
For adults and families in Helena exploring residential support, Infinity Healthcare Services offers a community-based adult IDD program in Great Falls. Our approach places the person’s choices, routines, and goals at the center of support for everyday life at home.
Personal choice. Everyday support. Meaningful connection.

01 / RESIDENTIAL SERVICES
What Helena families can ask about person-led support
Helena families comparing adult IDD residential options can begin with the person’s choices, rather than a list of tasks. Residential support involves more than completing daily tasks. It involves how a person wants to spend their time, which skills matter to them, and what helps them feel comfortable at home. Our Great Falls program brings daily living support and community inclusion together around the adult receiving services, with respect for individual goals, routines, and preferences.
Choices that matter every day
Personal choice belongs in ordinary moments as well as larger decisions. Preferences about routines, interests, and daily activities help give residential support direction and keep the person’s own priorities central to life at home.
Support with a purpose
Daily living skills are most meaningful when they connect with something the person values. Our program emphasizes goals and everyday routines so support remains connected to the life the individual wants to build.
Relationships with respect
Family involvement can bring valuable understanding of a person’s history and preferences. That involvement should support the adult’s voice and follow their preferences and permissions, with respect for privacy and personal decision-making.
02 / THE INFINITY APPROACH
The person’s voice gives support its direction
A familiar routine may be important to one person, while another wants to try something new. Person-led support makes room for both. At Infinity, the focus on individual goals and preferences connects everyday assistance with the person’s own priorities. Families exploring our Great Falls program can use that focus to discuss what matters most: valued routines, opportunities to practice daily living skills, relationships, and participation in community life. The adult receiving support remains central to that conversation.
Our staff-training expectations include abuse and incident reporting, confidentiality, CPR, first aid, College of Direct Support Tier 1, and ongoing annual learning. These expectations reflect the importance of safety, privacy, and preparation in person-centered residential support.
Our team can explain the expectations for direct-support staff and discuss the individual’s support needs.

Finding disability information in Helena
Ability Montana · Information and referral
Helena adults and families can contact Ability Montana for help finding disability-related resources in their community and navigating state or national information. This is a useful starting point when the question is broader than one residential provider, such as where to look for community support or whom to ask about a particular need. Ability Montana’s current contact page says its temporary Helena office is appointment-only through spring 2027. Contact the organization before visiting; its listed Helena number is 406-442-5755.
Before contacting Ability Montana, write down the person’s priorities and the questions still unanswered. Ask which resources address those needs, how to contact them and whether any eligibility or application steps apply. Use its contact page for current appointment instructions. Ability Montana is an independent community organization; questions about admission, staffing or availability at Infinity’s Great Falls home should go directly to Infinity.
